I’ve touched on topics before concerning the Hip Hop scene in Waco,Tx and it should be noted that it is being facilitated in part by Waco Summer Bash and the impact it has on the Waco music scene. This is the 7th year, and with a lot of pride in the fact that it has progressed every year, a reliable headliner, and quality supporting from up and coming performers it will be another year of progress. This years bash will take place on August 2nd, and although all the details not yet confirmed, be on the lookout at wacosummerbash.com for more info as it available.

One of the highlights of Summer Bash is the annual mixtape which thru-out the years has been overseen by Pirscription, and since 2013 has featured the mixing skills of 94.5 The Beat‘s DJ ADeezy. For the past 5 years it has served as a who’s who of local music and a hope for most up and coming artist, with that said we are proud to announce and present the cover of this years Waco Summer Bash Mixtape. This year could be the best yet, bringing you not only new talent, but also all your cen-tex favorites. Stay tuned for more info and get ready to grab your mixtape August 2nd at the bash!!!!

Now with no further ado, I present to you the 2K15 cover for this years Waco Summer Bash Mixtape!!!!

Central Texas music has seen an abundance of quality music released in 2015 and it’s gonna continue with the release of D.Hewitt’s track “The Right One”. It is off of his newest album, Care Package, which was recorded at Trojan Town studios and is set for a July 3rd release.

It’s an exciting time for artist in the Waco area, and this track features 3 of the hardest grinding artist doing it, D. Hewitt sets the tone and gives his rundown of a night with a love interest which is followed by the hook, between a soul sample and Giovanni Tha King it fits just right setting up each verse, second is Duce D from the One Of A Kind Records family who is coming off of the release of Closed Caskets which is his collaboration with Pirscription who takes the third verse and keeps it on point with a warning to what might happen if you’re the right one.

This record is just in time for those summer nights so be prepared to hear this all summer. Salute to D for keeping the momentum going for all of us local artist who just want to put our city on.

P.S. With the minds involved this record has to become a video so when you see’em just ask them, when is the video coming?

I knew the homie and Cen-Tex rapper Big Gibz had a new track with Pirscription called “Pass Me The Lighter” that would be the follow up to the highly successful “Body Bags” they did, but I didn’t have any expectations for it and didn’t know what to expect. Soooo, with that being said…..

I got a new record to add to my playlist

Take that as me saying this shit jams, it’s got a laid back beat (S/O to Dat Trill Meskin Gibbie) and the hook (a sample from Gibz verse on Body Bags) combines for perfect riding music.

Gibz verse is first, he delivers and keeps it all about the subject at hand with a memorable verse followed by Pirscription who has been on point lately and keeps his string of dope verses going. Rasheed delivers maybe the most solid verse of the song, with a unique flow it felt good to hear again.

But then……. an almost akward pause in the song, that loses you in the smokey atmosphere of the moment.

Just when your mind gets to the top of the roller coaster, Juan Gotti from the Dope House fam catches you off guard as the entire track screws itsself slower, to an old school Texas flow pace. With a screwed outro featuring Cyp D Hype from the “80′s Babies”, this record is a perfect addition to any smoking mixes, so download it, and before I leave…. could you please PASS ME THE LIGHTER?

I’m back with some more of my thoughts, this time for tracks 5-9 and the mixtape just keeps getting better. Let’s go.

Track 5 “Mixtape Shit” explains the tape perfectly. “What they do, we do it better so we remake it”. This will be a crowd favorite and one everyone will love to see perform.

Track 6 “Take Kare”, from the dramatic intro to the tone in Duce‘s voice as he spits “they hate to see a young king make it from the same place they stuck at, same place a n*gga had to move from around”. The whole vibe of this record is dope and Pirscription made sure he was gonna equal Duce‘s ferocity while spitting “momma got a second job, now at lunch I got extra crispitos”.

I told you these dudes were spitting and it’s only 6 songs in.

Track 7 “Conscious” is where the tape gets tricky, although Duce D is featured on this song solo, it is actually the first of two different tracks to the same beat……. and that in itself, is oddly intriguing.

Track 8 “Bass” will be one of the most played records off the mixtape, Script does his thing on this hook, and shows he has a dope record on his hands. I don’t want to say too much but I will say, GIVE THIS A LISTEN and make sure you have your girl in the passenger seat.

Track 9 “Pegasus” is the name, and this song is definitely on the rise, it’s a standout part of the mixtape being as it is the only real SOLO track on the mixtape. Duce D displays his lyrical cleverness in the most laid back of ways on this one, clinging onto the title nicely with “You can Ride to it, Get High to it, Fly Away”.

As I continue coverage on the mixtape Closed Caskets, I’ll take my personal favorites and give you guys my run down and thoughts, It’s available online here at oneofakindrecords.com, so head over to the online store and grab that!!

Track 1 “0-100″ begins with “Bite the hand that feeds you and you just might starve/ got the guts to match your rap, you can get split like gars/ One Of A Kind ain’t a label, it’s persona like ours’”. That’s the first line of the cd and DAMN, Pirscription wasted no time getting the point across and Duce sets the tone with his clever and hot topic rap lines, “Make these hits like we ordered to take your life/ I’m not Mayweather I bet I could take you wife” The balance works from the get go as it reminds us of classic rap groups that have had different agendas but the same end goal.

Track 2 “Learn Somethin” has a great vibe and sticks to the script with a nice, braggadocio/punch line filled verse from Duce but the knowledge dropped by Script on this track stands out as he opens with “get off your ass and go get it, sitting still never earned nothing/ we can kick it like return punting” and then touches on hot topics such as Youth being informed voters, the legalization of Mary Jane and the possibility of it never happening,“a red state with a face lift sounds outrageous/ pigs might fly before Texans become legal weed tasters” is one that immediately became stuck in my head.

Track 3 “C4″ was the first one to have a catchy record feel, the hook holds it together and the verses hold up. The hook is really on point and can compete as one of the best and most catchiest on the tape. Duce takes more of a serious approach on his verse, touching on failed successes, the hate from other rappers and his opinion on major labels. Pirscription meanwhile speaks on his hometown, the plight of small town artist and damn near riddle like rhymes that made me text him and ask what the hell does that mean, so listen and see if you can decipher what he’s saying.

Track 4 “H.O.T.” is standard mixtape fare and will be some peoples favorite record, they flip the Bobby Shmurda, “Hot N” record and flex lyrical muscle, Duce uses a sped up flow while Script sticks to the basic and gives what you expect, perfect balance. The shout out to Texas was nice and the abandoning from the original flow was a nice surprise… not to mention the Willie Nelson sample.

That’s my rundown of the first 4 records but you need to listen and let me know what you think. So until next time just remember, everyone,sometime or another has to eat the shit sandwich.

This is a statement and only the beginning.

Pirscription and Duce drop the second video from the collaborative mixtape Closed Caskets, it’s sure to be a fan favorite and with a message most of us can get behind it should be an exciting release. So light ya knew and enjoy some visuals from OOAK.

Wake up wake up and put some facts in your brain.

Ok, here’s the deal, Script is going to Colorado for the Cannabis Cup (for the 2nd year straight … lucky bastard) and in honor of that I decided to drop some knowledge about the Marijuana industry. He also said something about maybe a video shoot/release while he is there, but that’s a story for another time… so stay tuned!

Now, I’m not one for propaganda pieces and trying to convince anyone I Just want to leave you with something to think about so here are some facts and numbers because we all know that men lie women lie but numbers don’t lie, HOVA.

Let’s start with what it cost State and Federal governments to run Marijuana Prohibition, according to Harvard University economist Jeffery Miron that figure is an estimated $17.4 billion. That number alone should cause concern and raise questions about the integrity of the entire operation especially when you consider that it’s fairly obvious that it hasn’t been successful. The investment company ArcView Market Research found that in 2013 the legal marijuana market is worth $1.53 billion, which is modest when you see that the same report found that it will reach $10.2 billion by 2020.

When looking for the possibility of Texas and others to join the list of Medical states, a lot of eyes have descended on Colorado as we all wait and see how the state does being one of the first to legalize Marijuana. So far it’s been a complete success in the financial sector of it. In the first 2 months of 2014 the state collected $6.17 million and went on to collect $98 million during the fiscal year of 2014 according to a recent budget proposal from Gov. John Hickenlooper there will be $40 million devoted to public school construction and an estimated 7,500-10,000 industry jobs that opened up in 2014.

Colorado isn’t the only one benefitting, Washington state has projected that they will raise $190 million in taxes and fees, California’s medicinal dispensaries has an annual revenue of 105 million and Arizona’s marijuana market has an estimated value of $142.19 million. Maine has even got on board and will possibly be able to vote on it in 2016 after estimating that it could earn $36 million every year by legalizing and regulating marijuana, that is only a small portion of the states that have took a step in the direction of legalizing and regulating marijuana.

As we can see there is plenty of money to be made and with so many needs that need to be met from schools to after school programs, social security, research, etc. We have to take a serious look and be open minded, we have to erase some of the preconceived notions that exist about marijuana and go about it the right way so until we are free from the oppression of ignorance let’s respect the law and in the words of Nate Dogg…… “Smoke Weed Everyday”…. well, if its legal.

You swing and he moves before the punch lands,he jabs and you anticipate it-lean back to the right, it misses. This is where the saying Steel sharpens steel would be a perfect anecdote. The challenge that comes with competing against someone who knows you well and can anticipate your moves is that you have to swing harder, quicker and with more surprise. You have to switch it up, be more creative and most of all..you have to go harder.

That is what listening to Closed Caskets was like to me, it felt like two friends, label mates and fellow MC’s challenging each other. Closed Caskets is a collaborative effort between MC’s Pirscription and Duce D, both of One Of A Kind Records based in West, Texas. At first listen the first things that stick out is the choice of instrumentals, the vocal production and the focus on lyrics which work well to hold it all together.

A lot of times the problem that arises when 2 mc’s do a project together is the lack of cohesiveness and in this case it wasn’t a problem, a lot of that has to do with the fact that it doesn’t feel rushed, has a nice flow and with 21 songs will give you enough material to last.

So when you listen to this you will probably imagine 2 prizefighters fighting for respect, fighting into the final rounds and in this case it’s 21. So go ahead, push play and head into the fight and if you listen real close then you hear 2 friends who will be damn if one is outdone by the other

I’m writing this at my desk and to put it plainly, my hips hurt and my back hurts and I need a marathon sleep session…but not before I make a note of things I need to do next year to make it better. Here is a list of some things I DID do.

I drunk some beer, mostly Fireman’s ale but also indulged on Shiner. Thanks, Yahoo for the FREE beer.

Ate Bar-B-Que at an underrated spot called Blue Ribbon.

Ate Fried Chicken at Gus’s and Enchiladas at Amaya’s, both hit the spot.

Sang along to “Hey there, Delilah” and “Trap Queen” within a couple hours of each other.

Saw 3 Folk bands at obscure venues.

Hit a “No Flex Zone” while stuck in traffic with Rae Sremmurd

Saw Riff Raff tell a fan that he couldn’t take a pic because “I have to go eat, get them gains”

Didn’t come close to seeing Incubus……. at all….

Almost got to see Sam Hunt and Jackie Green, bummed about both.

Jarren Benton performed his ass off.

This past weekend had a different vibe, to me it felt a bit nostalgic and i’m sure the rain had a lot to do with the calmness of it all but none the less, I enjoyed it.

Some of the parties and events that are never an option in recent years were an option this year, for instance the Yahoo party which is usually out of the question had great events this year that were able to be enjoyed. The Fader Fort was another event that was said to be less packed then in recent years or at least felt that way. The food was over priced and the drinks were too but just like any other year, free beer is an option if you look hard enough.

The women mostly looked uncomfortable, I met a couple gorgeous school teachers, met a gorgeous stripper (I’m guessing) from New Orleans and met an older lady at the Young Thug show that looked like Dr.Quinn the Medicine Woman and randomly asked me if I liked Goodie Mob, then told me how she had a friend that wore green jeans and loved the song “Greeny Green”. S/O to the girl in the red dress who spilled red wine all on the back of Script’s shirt & didn’t tell anybody, it made for a good laugh when we left the show, haha.

I will be on to another festival next month, in Florida, and will probably have more interesting stories but something about being in Austin and the energy of SXSW that keeps us coming back… oh yeah, the expensive food and uncomfortable looking woman don’t hurt.
